colinux can't work after doing upgrade

Today, I doing 'Pacman -Syu'.

But unfortunely, it hangs on 'Loading UDev uevents'.

Is there anybody whose colinux still workable after 'pacman -Syu'?

Is there any boot parameter which I could do?

Re: colinux can't work after doing upgrade

I don't understand your problem, dlin. AFAIK, colinux is Cooperative Linux, "the first working free and open source method for optimally running Linux on Microsoft Windows natively." I don't see the connection with pacman, so please explain a bit more.

Re: colinux can't work after doing upgrade

co-linux provides a kernel, that presumably you can use with arch and boot arch from within a windows system

please make sure you have the absolute latest 2.6 kernel available from them as older ones afaik dont work with the latest udevs.

Re: colinux can't work after doing upgrade

At previous boot, I use newest kernel26-2.6.16.4-1.pkg.tar.gz.
And stopped on

:: Starting UDev Daemon                                                  [FAIL]
:: Activating Swap                                                       [FAIL]

So, I think maybe I require downgrade my kernel.
I found the newest snapshop of colinux using 2.6.12 kernel.
So, try to use arch-0.7.iso's kernel26-2.6.10-3.pkg.tar.gz.

It seems work more lines.

but hang after "Loading Modules" line. 

I've successful use it ( with 0.7 base and current update).  What pkgs should I downgrade?

iirc the colinux kernel needs to be installed inside arch too.

Re: colinux can't work after doing upgrade

After refer the http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … ht=colinux I solved it.

Thanks ciecet.

What I do is:
   1. modify /etc/rc.sysinit
   2. cp -rdp /old_bootable/dev/* /new/dev
